 WHAT IS ADAPTIVE REUSE ?

• Adaptive reuse of heritage buildings refers to repurposing or

reusing an existing structure for a completely different
purpose than what it was intended for. Reusing allows the
building to be used for a longer period. T h e term is more
common to repurposing historic buildings although all kinds of
buildings can be recycled. This can save hundreds of
buildings from getting demolished only to rebuild again.
